Cannot use Space Enablement after downgrading SAP Web IDE for SAP HANA

[hugoinperson]

Due to a requirement that I have to downgrade my Web IDE for SAP HANA from HANA 2 SPS 3 to HANA 2 SPS 2.

The way how I downgrade Web IDE is:

1) Uninstall the Web IDE

xs uninstall XSAC_SAP_WEB_IDE --delete-services

2) Re-install the lower version

xs install XSACSAPWEBIDE02_8-80002257.ZIP -e sap-xsac-devx.mtaext

When I try to enable the space for the builder, I see "redeploy" button instead of "enable" button. The following are the logs when I click redeploy.

Basically it's saying the version of the one I am deploying (4.2.34) is lower than the existing one (4.3.23). The error message makes sense to me since I downgraded my Web IDE.

According to the error msg, I need to use "--version-rule ALL" option to force downgrade. The problem is, how can I redo this "Redeploy" from command client so I can use "--version-rule ALL"? I have xs-cli installed, but have no idea where that builder MTA is located.

Here are all the mtas in space SAP

Hi Jerry,

Although we don't officially support downgrades, we can investigate this and get back to you with a solution/workaround for this.

Thanks,

Hi Jerry,

You can delete the di-builder in xsa-cookpit.(see the image) and then click the Redeploy Button. Then the space can be enabled.
